I know personally the idea was a lil werid to get used at first but he has over come his Y chromosome handicaps so well.

So well done Zaph keep up the good work.

Hurray!!! Males are now classed as handicapped, lets all take a leaf out of Peter Griffin's book so and use the excuse of not knowing anybetter!:D

I suppose when you look at it the little fella is missing a limb compared to the little madam when examining chromosomes, so yup, he's handicapped.

When I dream of moderator perfection I dream of Zaph, I try to emulate his ways and mannerisms. It is impossible though, he is too much man for me ;_;

Me too. Although, i think he kind of mods in a gender-less way, i don't see his posts and think "oh, look, there's Zaph, our boy mod modding away in his boyish way".

Big cheers for all the LL mods who are all doing a good job. *applause*

I was only thinking to myself there what a good job, Zaph is doing. well done.

Must be hard on the man with all the hormones flying around, talks of mooncups and half naked men in the drool thread....

But It comes across as he is enjoying it..:)
